IL: Documented harassment of a registrant by a police officer

[uscourts.gov – 11/26/19 – 7th Circuit]

The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment requires that state actors have, at a minimum, a rational basis for treating similarly situated people differently. Rex _____ alleges that Officer Tizoc Landeros prevented him from updating his Illinois sexual offender registration and otherwise used his official position to harass Frederickson purely out of personal dislike. Without an updated registration, Frederickson was unable to move from Joliet, Illinois, to nearby Bolingbrook.

The district court found that Frederickson had put forth enough evidence to allow a jury to find that Landeros had singled Frederickson out for unfavorable treatment, and that in so doing Landeros was motivated solely by personal animus and thus lacked a rational basis for his actions.

So this “cop” that refused to register the guy and cost taxpayers all kinds of money = A TYRANT and should be fired… really simple.

Technical Note: File is in a format called “.PL” and named “rssExec.pl”. If you change the “PL” to “PDF” (or “rssExec.pdf”) then it should open up normally as a PDF file.

Aren’t “unregistered sex offenders” ticking time bombs?? Why would this cop want that?

I think we’ve all had to deal with harassment on some level as a part of this. I know I sure have!
